I want a capon

I searched, but couldn't find any leads. Does anyone know where I can get a capon, preferably fresh for Christmas.

I'm in Bern, but don't care if I have to go somewhere else (well, within an hour or two) to get it.

Thanks!

Yep, it's true. France has loads of them in the run-up to Christmas. Any big French supermarket should have them, no need to pre-order.

Re: I want a capon

From an old post (2006!) by Jack:
Quote:
You can also find/order fresh Turkey from Familie Fiechter. They are always at the market in Oerlikon on Saturday and at Helvetiaplatz on Friday (sorry, I know this only really applies to those near Zürich). They specialize in fresh birds, mostly from France. They source everthing themselves, and you can always find some really excellent product ...

If I were a batperson, I'd have to be batwoman or crazybatwoman.

Hmmm... a cape. Might be a nice thing to have tho. With a hood.
